Wind

This book is a collection of short stories published by Japanese writer Nanae Aoyama in 2014. It includes four short stories, "Premonition", "Dancing", "Two People" and "Wind". Each story ranges in length from 1,000 to 30,000 words. It was originally published in magazines such as "New Wave" and "Literary Art" from 2012 to 2014, and was later collected into a volume. The four short stories included in this book focus on some isolated individuals in the crowd. Some of them live alone, and when they come back from a trip, they find that their "home" has disappeared out of thin air; some of them are unable to dance no matter what, and their hands and feet will become unable to move, whether in school, at a disco, or in parent-child activities in kindergarten; some of them are looking for bonds with friends or close relatives, and finally meet themselves. The author focuses on describing delicate and subtle feelings, and his writing style is unique.
